Description RonnyPeine 2006-08-07 00:03:01 UTC

media-libs/libgii-0.9.0 does not compile on hardened Gentoo because of PIE.
It works without problems if CFLAG -nopie is specified.
Proposed fix: append -nopie in CFLAGS.

Problem is with the configure check to detect whether cpuid is supported or not.

ok; I've committed a fix to CVS; sync up in an hour or so and try again.

The fix changes the code that configure tries to compile into a form that's compatible with the hardened compiler.

Thanks for the report.
